Along those lines, there's another problem with this feature. I added the secure_passwords property to the security property in / in my network domain. The secure_passwords value is supposed to make it that people must choose good passwords. It does, but only for /etc/passwd, not in Preferences.app. Most of my users use Preferences to change their password. So the security option didn't help out much. I'd call it a bug. The property should be universal to password changing, not just command line. -rob --- Rob Francis Unix Systems Specialist, Indiana University francisr@indiana.edu (812)855-0327
